Definitions
- This invention pertains to the field of cell-telephone technology. More particularly, the invention discloses a novel device for utilizing an in-car cell-telephone cradle/charging-unit to charge a spare cell-telephone battery.
- Wireless, cell-telephone technology has made a profound, positive impact on the civilized society.
- this technology provides people with improved utilization of time, personal convenience and capability of reaching any other person or service without being anchored to a telephone station.
- cell-telephones were primarily utilized in vehicles and they tapped into the power supply of their host vehicles. Quickly, however, the cell-telephone technology was adapted for portability and began to utilize battery power.
- battery capacity remains finite. Additionally, there is a correlation between the battery size and its power capacity. There exists a tradeoff between the desirable, low profile slim batteries and the bigger higher capacity batteries. Smaller sized batteries have a limited power capacity. A single battery is often not capable of powering a cell-telephone for the duration of its intended use. To overcome this limitation, there exist in-car cradles which retain the cell-telephone and its battery, while the two are not in use, and they also provide electrical power for recharging of the battery. However, the cradle/charging-unit is not capable, of recharging a spare battery, detached from the cell-telephone, while the cell-telephone is in use and is outside the cradle.
- Another solution for recharging of the cell-telephone batteries is plugging in the cell-telephone and its battery into a cigarette lighter of the vehicle. This allows the cell-telephone to use the vehicle power supply and to recharge its battery.
- this technology requires for the battery to be connected to the vehicle power supply through the cell-telephone. Thus, a spare battery is not capable of being recharged without being connected to the cell-telephone.
- the device of the present invention is an adapter which engages a spare battery and emulates the shape and function of the host cell-telephone.
- the adapter and the battery thereafter are capable of being placed in the cradle/charging-unit and the battery recharges from the electrical power supplied by the vehicle to the cradle/charging-unit.

- FIG. 11 is a back plan view of the preferred embodiment of the adapter in its spatial and engagement relationship with the spare cell-telephone battery;
- FIG. 12 is a side plan view of the preferred embodiment of the adapter in its spatial and engagement relationship with the spare cell-telephone battery;
- FIG. 13 illustrates the electrical connectors of the battery and the cell-telephone
- FIG. 14 illustrates the spatial relationship of the adapter engaged to the spare battery and the cradle/charging-unit retaining the battery
- FIG. 15 illustrates the abutting electrical connections of the battery and the charging unit.
- the present invention allows the user to use his/her cell-telephone and charge a spare battery at the same time. As explained above, presently available cradle/charging-units do not allow this application. Without the present invention, one has to attach the battery to the cell-telephone and place the battery and the cell-telephone in the cradle/charging-unit for the battery to charge.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of an adapter 1 coupled to a spare cell-telephone battery 3 having electrical connections 5.
- Adapter 1 has a top end 9, a right side 11, a left side 13 and a bottom end 15. In the center of top end 9, adapter 1 employs a cavity 19 which acts as the receiver of a hook 25 of a cradle/charging-unit 33.
- FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5 illustrate, respectively, top, front, bottom and side views of adapter 1.
- Adapter's top 9, bottom 15, left side 13 and right side 11 are joined at their respective marginal edges to form its body.
- Top 9 and generally adapter 1 are shaped and formed to emulate the shape and form of cell-telephone 23. It is foreseeable that a number of varying designs are or will be employed.
- Adapter 1 further includes the cavities, channels and guides (described in detail below) of cell-telephone 23 which allow the adapter 1 to attach to a spare cell-telephone battery 3.
- the physical shape of the cell-telephone 23 is not relevant and that adapter 1 can be shaped to emulate any cell-telephone for the purpose of emulating a cell-telephone and retaining a spare battery 3 in a cradle/charging-unit such as cradle/charging-unit 33.
- FIGS. 6, 7, 8, and 9 illustrate, respectively, top, front, bottom and side views of adapter 7.
- Adapter 7 has top 9, bottom 15, left side 13 and right side 11 which are joined at their respective marginal edges to form a body.
- Top 3 and the body of adapter 7, as in adapter 1 are shaped and formed to emulate the shape and form of a cell-telephone 23.
- Adapters 7 and 1 further include the cavities, channels and guides of cell-telephone 23 which allow them to attach to the spare cell-telephone battery 3.
- Bottom 15 of adapter 7 serves as a stop against cradle/charging-unit's 33 bottom 39 emulating cell-telephone's 23 bottom 37.
- Bottom 15 and bottom 39 abut to contain and retain adapter 7 and its battery 3 in cradle/charging-unit 33.
- the physical shape of the cell-telephone 23 is not relevant and that adapter 7 can be shaped to emulate any cell-telephone for the purpose of emulating a cell-telephone and retaining a spare battery 3 in a cradle/charging-unit 33.
- adapters 1 and 7 serve the same purpose and function. Reference, function and application to one of the adapters 1 or 7 shall be construed as an equivalent reference to the other adapter 1 or 7.
- Adapter 1 further emulates the retaining means of cell-telephone 23 to retain battery 3 therewith.
- FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 illustrate how adapter 1 and battery 3 engage.
- the cell-telephone 23 and corresponding adapter 1 have corresponding, matching channels 41 along its right side 11 and its left side 13. Channels 41 correspond to guides 43 of battery 3 and guides 43 are complimentary positioned and dimensioned to reciprocate and/or slide along channels 41 until top 9 of adapter 1 abuts top 45 of battery 3.
- Adapter 1 and battery 3 employ reciprocal, complimentary means for locking engagement.
- adapter 1 adopts the mating and/or interlock capability of cell-telephone 23 which allows the cell-telephone 23 and battery 3 to mutually and removably engage and disengage.
- adapter 1 has a cavity 45 and two pressure studs 47. As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, top 9 of adapter 1 approaches top 45 of battery 3 by mutual engagement and cooperation between corresponding channels 41 and guides 43 of adapter 1 and battery 3.
- the adapter 1 of preferred embodiment employs the means of keeping the battery 3 with cell-telephone 23.
- anchor 49 which is suspended on a torsion bar 51, having rotational, pivotal motion about its two secured, opposite ends and respectively secured to the body of battery 3, snap fits into adapter's 1 cavity 53. Because bar 51 has a biased, rotational, pivotal motion, it snap fits anchor 49 into cavity 53 where it remains until such time as it is pushed out of the cavity and the battery is removed either from the adapter 1 or cell-telephone 23. Further observation of the lock/unlock mechanism may be observed by a study of a Motorolla brand cell-telephone and its associated batteries.
- adapter 1 is provided to allow battery 3 to charge from the cradle/charging-unit 33 while it is not attached to a cell-telephone 23.
- Cradle/charging-unit 33 has respective electrical terminals/connections 35 which are connected to the automobile's power supply and have a positive and a negative terminal. Electrical terminals/connections 35 are positioned on cradle/charging-unit 33 to make connection with battery 3 electrical terminals/connections 5, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 14. More particularly, FIG.
- FIG. 15 illustrates adapter 1 and battery 3 in cradle/charging-unit 33 with their respective electrical terminals/connections 5 and 35 aligned such that they are touching and have a substantially continuous electrical contact, allowing battery 3 to charge and to draw power from terminals 35 which are connected to the vehicle's power supply such as its battery and/or electrical generation system.
- FIG. 14 further illustrates how adapter 1, battery 3 and cradle/charging-unit 33 are arranged to retain battery 3 and adapter 1 securely in the cradle/charging-unit 33.
- adapter 1, battery 3 and cradle/charging-unit 33 are arranged to retain battery 3 and adapter 1 securely in the cradle/charging-unit 33.
- a clip 25 which has an anchored, biased pivot end 27 and a hook end 29.
- pivot end 27 has limited, rotational movement ability in respect to cradle/charging-unit 33.
- clip 25 having pivot end 27 may rotate about its juncture point with cradle/charging-unit 33 with the assistance of or suspended on a coiled spring, torsion bar or torsion spring (not shown).
- the pivot end 27 is usually placed about the top end of cradle/charging-unit 33, although it could be placed just about anywhere along cradle/charging-unit 33.
- the pivot end 27 is capable of deflection about its pivot end to allow its opposite hook end 29 to move about the pivot point of pivot end 27 which is fixed to cradle/charging-unit 33.
- the hook end 29 is deflected about its pivot end 27 until hook end 29 meets and snap fits into corresponding and positioned cavity 19 in the top end of cell-telephone 23 or top end 9 of adapter 1.
- Cavity 19 is positioned complimentary to the position of clip 25 and its hook end 29 to receive hook end 29.
- hook end 29 is inside the cavity 19, the adapter 1 or cell-telephone 23 attached to battery 3, are secured in cradle/charging-unit 33 and are capable of maintaining their position therein therefore they are capable of maintaining the electrical connection between contacts/terminals 5 and 35, thereby allowing the battery 3 to charge.
- One way to detach cell-telephone 23 or adapter 1 and battery 3 from cradle/charging-unit 33 is by applying downward force on clip 25 along its pivot end 27. This force causes hook end 29 to leave cavity 19 and allows the user to remove the battery 3 and adapter 1 or cell-telephone 23 from the cradle/charging-unit 33.
- Another way to detach cell-telephone 23 or adapter 1 and battery 3 from cradle/charging-unit 33 is to remove bottom portion of battery 3 from the cradle/charging-unit 33 and thereby defeat the hook retainment of hook end 29 and cavity 19.
- adapter 7 is used to provide a stop for abutting bottom end 39 of cradle/charging-unit 33.
- clip 25 and corresponding cavity 19 are sufficient to contain the battery 3 or cell-telephone 23 in cradle/charging-unit 33.
